Hardware designers are constantly looking for ways to squeeze waste out of architectures to achieve better power efficiency. Cache resizing is a technique that can remove wasteful power consumption in caches. The idea is to determine the minimum cache a program needs to run at near-peak performance, and then reconfigure the cache to implement this efficient capacity. While there has been signif...

Efficient solution of the Navier-Stokes equations in complex domains is dependent upon the availability of fast solvers for sparse linear systems. For unsteady incompressible flows, the pressure operator is the leading contributor to stiffness. as the characteristic propagation speed is infinite. In the context of operator splitting formulations, it is the pressure solve which is the most compu...

Web browsers have become the most popular interactive interfaces ever developed and widely deployed in the computing history. Through links embedded in a web page, a user can browse virtually any digital resources in the world. Although these links are naturally interconnected and hierarchical, the browsing model is typically in linear and at any point of time only one-level of information can ...

We present a multi-level probabilistic relaxation scheme appropriate for image segmentation on the basis of features computed at various resolution levels. At each level, we incorporate contextual information computed from the features in the coarser scale representation of the scene, as well as information from the features computed in the ner scale representation, until a full segmentation is...

BlueSpace is an enterprise software company, based in Austin, Texas, which creates multi-level secure (MLS) end user applications that can span multiple networks at different classification levels. BlueSpace's middleware strategy facilitates rapid application development, infrastructure consolidation and infrastructure neutrality. The continuing growth in the number of networks in the defense a...

BACKGROUND Zoonoses are a growing international threat interacting at the human-animal-environment interface and call for transdisciplinary and multi-sectoral approaches in order to achieve effective disease management. The recent emergence of Lyme disease in Quebec, Canada is a good example of a complex health issue for which the public health sector must find protective interventions. Traditi...

background;it is important to know media and educational intervention and also produce them according to standards. thus, media and health educational interventions should evaluate to improve education quality. methods;the study sample were whole produced media and interventions in all medical universities, deportments, offices, and centers affiliated to ministry of health in 2008 and in the fi...
